Surface Cooking
Lighting Instructions
Your surface burners
are lighted by etectric
ignition,
eliminating
the need for standing
pilots with constantly
burning flames,
In case of a power
failure,
you can light the surface
burners
on your range with a match,
Hold a lighted
match
to the burner,
then turn the knob to the LITE
position° Use extreme
caution
when lighting
burn-
ers in this manner.
Surface

power fail-
ure occurs
wi!l continue
to operate
normally,
The
electrode
of the spark
igniter
is exposed..
When one burner is turned to LITE, all the burn-
ers spark.
Do not disassemble
or clean around
any burner while another
burner is on. An electric
shock may result, which could cause you to knock
over hot cookware.
Surface Burner Controts
The knobs that turn the surface
burners on and off are
located on the control panel in front of the burners,
The two knobs on the left control the left front and left
rear burners,
The two knobs on the right control
the
right front and right rear burners.,
On ranges with sealed burners:
o The smaller
burner (right rear position)
wilt give
the best simmer results, It offers precise cooking
performance
for delicate
foods, such as sauces
or foods which need to cook over low heat for a
long time,
It can be turned
down to a very low
simmer setting.
• The right front burner is higher powered than the
others
and will bring
liquids
to a boil quicker

panel to turn the light

Before Lighting a Burner
° If drip pans are supplied
with your range, they should
be used at all times,
• Make sure all grates on the range are in place before
using any burner.
To Light a Surface Burner
Push the control
knob
in and turn
it
to LITE, You wilt hear a little clicking
noise--the
sound of the electric
spark
igniting
the burner.
After Lighting a Burner
o After the burner ignites,
turn the knob to adjust the
flame size.
o Check to be sure the burner you turned on is the one
you want to use.
• Do not operate
a burner for extended
periods of time
without
having cookware
on the grate_ The finish on
the grate may chip without
cookware
to absorb
the
heat°
• Be sure the burners
and grates are cool before you
place
your
hand,
a pot holder,
cleaning
cloths
or
other materials
on them,
How to Select Flame Size
Watch
the flame,
not the knob, as you reduce
heat.
The flame
size on a gas burner
should
match
the
cookware
you are using
